It shows the same pattern as the city flag, the cross a bit stretched vertically to match the gonfalone. This includes also the lettering "PISA" on the dexter top.

Flag According to Book of all Kingdoms (late 14th Cent.)

image by Eugene Ipavec, 16 March 2010

The 27th flag mentioned and illustrated in the Book of All Kingdoms [e9s50] is attributed to Pisa. This as depicted in the 2005 spanish illustrated transcription [e9s05], a plain red flag, shown in the ogival default shape of this source.
The anonymous author of [e9s50] describes the flag thusly: "El señor d’ella á por señales un pendón todo colorado" (And its lord has for sign a fully red pendon.).
